What's even more scary is that ain has 114 of it's 1717 occurrences on f111v. This many on a single page is really confusing (Is there a Voynich Vord frequency table resource anywhere?) So maybe it has some kind of meaning![]()
Hi, Common_Man. Your worries are reasonable, but I think that whether frequent abbreviation / omission / decoration is confusing depends on both topic and how they are used.
Imagine we are reading an instruction about what we should do in each season or month in one year, and we use abbreviations such as Spr., Sum., Aut., Win., Jan., Feb., Mo., Tu., We. et cetera frequently, it probably won’t be that confusing.
Another possibility is that, abbreviations used in following pages have already been introduced on the first page of the quire. For example, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has a special decoration character at the beginning of the page, which makes it look like a first page. Surprisingly, the page has no words ending in -ain, except one standalone ain: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
(It does have words ending in -aiin and -aiiin, though)
